My question is to the Prime Minister. I draw the Prime Minister’s attention to comments by Theo L Sambuaga, chair of Indonesia’s foreign relations committee, in relation to the release of Abu Bakar Bashir. He said:

My advice don’t let other heads of foreign countries to interfere in our process of law.

Why won’t the Prime Minister listen to the advice of his own government led Senate inquiry and to the Australian parliament, rather than the Indonesian parliament, and abandon once and for all his bill to appease Indonesia?
